Rumors prevailed about the city yesterday
afternoon that there had been big strike
at Starin dock, that the boats would be de-
1ayed and that trouble was feared. The
whole affair amounted to but little. The

the freight at the dock stopped work. 1t was
Just after the arrival of the steamer Erastus
Corning from New York. They had little
misunderstanding among themselves about
not getting paid off precisely at the usual
time. 1t was explained to them that the
slight delay in paying them off was because
of the arrival of the boat which kept the
business Office busy for an hour or SO on
freight matters, that the pay would be forth
coming directly. This Gained the tempest,
and the men returned to work at once well
satisfied, got their pay soon after and every

Rushing to Death

in the attempt to swim the Niagara Whlrl-
pool Rapids is no more reckless or dangerous
than to triae with disease which each day
secures stronger hold and hastens the end
Of life. This is specially true of rheumatism
neuralgia, sciatiea and nervous headache,
which though perhaps slight at first are ex-
tremely dangerous, and steadily secure
,frmer grip until at last the agony is unen-
durable and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use OF
Athlophoros which, in connection with Ath-
1ophoros Pills, never fails when properly
used. Read the following from those who
have tested it:
NEW HAVEN, Ct, Sept. IA, 1885.
Day before yesterday, and day or two
prior thereto, suffered great pain in my
right arm, which felt sure was rheumatism.
Being determined to do something to relieve
the pain, if possible, I sent out and got
bottle of Athlophoros and took three doses
during the day Yesterday morning the
pain was nearly gone, and one more dose
completed the cure, so that to-day my arm
is as good as new. feel SO grateful to you
that determined my business this morning
should be to write to you this note of thanks
EDWARD A. ANKETELL.
ANsoNIA, Conn, Oct. IA, 1885.
I believe, in fact, know there is nothing
like Athlophoros. 1t cured me of very Sc
we're case of muscular rheumatism. My
cure is permanent. I have recommended it,
of persons suffering from rheumatism and
neuralgia, and still the good work of driving
away that dangerous disease
goes bravely on on all sides. I hear the
highest praise for Athlophoros.

How a Mouse stopped n Train.
London RaiI,pay Ne.r,.1

London Raitrny Netrs
Did any one ever imagine that a mouse could
stop railway train? Ii seems to be imposs-
BILE; nevertheless il was done recently at the
town of Carpi, near Modena, in Italy.
On the Italian railroads an electrical appara-
tus upon the departure of a train from any
station, rings six strokes upon a gong in the
next station. The StatioDmaster at Carpi,
hearing his gong ring three strokes where there
should be six, immediately came to the conelu-
sion that there was something wrong on the
line and ordered up the electric signal of warn
ing.
The train, which by this time was under full
headway, came TO a dead stop.
Then began n transfer of telegraphic mes
sages. The passengers were anxious to know
what was the matter. They waited while the
messages went back aud forth. The inquiry
established the fact that everything was right
on the line aud the train Was ordered forward
after considerable delay.
The Stationmaster, about this time thought
it might be well to look into his gong. and there
he found, stuck fast hetween the cogs OF the
electrical apparatus. poor little mouse
The unhappy animal had happened to be in
the interior of the clock when il "struek one"
and down he attempted TO run. but was caught
between the murderous wheels. His little body

ssgacity OF the DOs-WOIf of the Plains.

1t is during the weeks going just before and
following immediately after the birth of the
puppies that the old dogeoyotes work their
hardest and most Systematically. In hunting
at this time our wolf adds to his ordinary per-
tinacity and zeal, the sagacity aud endurance
necessary to turn his victims and drive them
back as near as possible to his home, knowing
that otherwise his mate and her weaklings will
be unable to partake of the feast.
A remarkable picture of this was given some
years ago by writer in an English magazine,
who in one Of the best animal chapters" it
has ever been my fortune to read, detailed such
a chase as witnessed by him in the grand for
ests near Lake Nicaragua. Certainly" he
exelaims at the conclusion of his account,
certainly no training could nave bettered that
dogs run. To drive grown buck back to his
starting place, to send on portion Of the pack
to that point where he would strive to break
cover to head him again and again into the
cover where his speed could not be exerted to
the full, were feats which might well puzzle all
the best dogs in England, and the human in
telligence which directs them"
His game and Its getting are not always so
noble rs this, however, and the coyote knows
we'll the pinch of famine, especially in Winter.
"The main object Of his life seems to be the
satisfying of q hunger which is always
craving; and to this aim all his cunning,

herds, and seized upon decrepit or aged strag-
glers, or upon any calves they were able TO sur
round and pull down. In such piracy the coy

their highest powers; and success followed a sys-
